#goodmannerseverywhere - Meal at the restaurant

Are you going to a romantic dinner at your favorite restaurant? Have you decided to turn the meal with family or friends into a tradition? Periodically, you and those close to you, deserve a moment of intimacy, in a beautiful place with tasty dishes. But before any plan, don't forget to recap the set of good manners used at the table.

• When we enter a restaurant, we do not slam the door in the nose of the person (s) behind us, but even hold it, so that he (they) can enter as well;

• Napkins provided are not part of the decor. They must be used for practical purposes. For example, it's okay to cover your knees with them;

• The order in which the waiter arranged the cutlery must be respected by the customers;

• Decide while you want to eat. Remember that first the woman chooses, then the man. The man is also the one who orders the alcohol and asks for the bill;

• You should not lie on your back or side when the waiter comes to serve you. This could intimidate him or make him uncomfortable;

• It is not advisable to eat before the waiter brings everyone's dishes;

• Do not speak with your mouth full. Not only is it unpleasant, but you can drown if you are not careful. Even if you really like food, don't fret and don't rush;

• When you want to call the waiter, avoid shouting at him or waving. He waits for him to appear in the viewfinder and make a discreet gesture in his eyes to get closer;

• When sitting with someone at the table, do not put the phone on the table and do not look at the phone while having a conversation. The gesture denotes a lack of respect for the person / persons present;

• If someone has food marks on their lips, avoid saying it out loud. A discreet sign is enough;

• When you leave the table, get up with your whole body, do not lean on the table or back;

• If you want to tip the waiter, do not hold the money in his hand and do not shout after him. Leave them on the table or in the bill.
